California Bankers Association Applaud Signing of Foreclosure Law Business Wire - The following statement has been issued by the California Bankers Association regarding the passage of SB 1137 (Perata) into law earlier today: “We applaud Governor Schwarzenegger for signing SB 1137 (Perata) today. This measure, which takes effect immediately, represents a collaborative, bipartisan effort where all interested parties were able to successfully reach compromise on a comprehensive measure providing meaningful reform to assist borrowers facing foreclosure. The new law strikes an important balance of enacting relief for borrowers without limiting access to credit or causing market disruptions that could worsen the nation’s credit crunch,” said Rodney K. Brown, President and CEO of the California Bankers Association. “We thank Senate President pro Tempore Don Perata for his leadership and attention to this matter and for engaging our industry in this effort to find solutions Puzzles that assist homeowners.” Established more than 110 years ago, the July 14-20, 2008 California Bankers Association (CBA) is one of the largest state banking trade associations in the country. CBA leads the way in developing relevant education and legislative solutions to some of California’s more pressing financial Puzzles and banking issues, including adult financial empowerment, identity theft, financial privacy, July 14-20, 2008 and financial elder abuse. CBA’s membership includes more than 300 of California’s commercial, industrial and community banks and savings associations. For more information, please —12— visit www.calbankers.com. Providing Relief from Threat of Foreclosure While Preserving Homeowners’ Future Business Wire - Senate Bill 1137 by State Senator Don Perata will provide immediate relief to families currently facing foreclosure without arbitrarily limiting access to credit or discouraging the investments that are needed to restore liquidity to California’s housing market. This bill establishes new processes to reach out to homeowners prior to foreclosure, providing them with additional information on the process and encouraging further efforts to avoid foreclosure wherever possible. SB 1137 also provides additional notice to tenants of foreclosed properties and creates new requirements for the maintenance of foreclosed properties to protect the surrounding neighborhoods. Under the bill, tenants will receive notice once a notice of sale has been posted on a property. The bill also extends the time period for notice so that Gamestenants of residential properties will be notified GamesJuly 14-20,of 2008 a foreclosure 60 days rather than 30 days prior to eviction.

The recipes featured here are simple, but sophisticated. Grilled Polenta With Triple Mushroom Sauce features crisp, seared polenta wedges with a zesty tomato-mushroom topping. (And, best of all, it can be made ahead and finished on the grill at the last minute for an easy appetizer or side dish.) Tuscan Chicken With Garlic and Capers takes thinly- pounded chicken breasts, tosses them lightly in flour and seasonings and lightly sautés them. A savory sauce of white wine, garlic, capers, ancho vies and a premium prepared pasta sauce, such as Classico, comes together quickly on the stovetop. Want to guarantee an award-winning performance at your motion picture soiree? Follow these simple planning tips: � Pick a mood movie: Italian classics run the gamut from thrilling to romantic to comedic to dramatic. “Roman Holiday,” “The Big Night,” “Moonstruck,” “Cinema Paradiso” and “The Good, The Bad and the Ugly” are just a few options. � Invite friends and family: Nothing says Italian like a big family meal. Fill the house with your favorite people and use the movie as a springboard for lively conversation. � Select favorite recipes to complement the movie: Pick a family favorite, or try a recipe you’ve always wanted to make. With so many choices of delicious Italian foods, you can’t go wrong. � Offer wine: Italians wouldn’t think of having a meal without a glass of wine. Consider having at least one red and one white wine available to guests. Here are some food-friendly wine choices: Castello di Gabbiano Pinot Grigio Castello di Gabbiano Chianti Classico Castello di Gabbiano Chianti Classico Riserva Castello di Gabbiano Alleanza With a little planning and preparation, you’ll only have one thing left to do on movie night: Sit back, relax and let the accolades roll in.
